Также огласите условия оплаты, все таки. Предоплата от покупателя предполагается какая-нибудь?
Условия оплаты я уточняю сейчас.
Предварительно, мне моя японская коллега на своём кривоватом английском написала следующее:
Dear Yuri san
Please kindly check as below;
1. Firstly we check the prices of offered honey. Also we start talking with supplier about Contract conditions (terms of payment and terms of shipment, mainly)
*Please kindly check first the payment term. Only 100% T/T & L/C at sight is acceptable for Kanematsu. We cannot pay in advance.
(Sometimes, suppliers don’t agree. Then we gave up doing that business before.)
2. If prices & other conditions are acceptable, and make a contract with them
*When we sign contract, it must be to subject to sample Approval.
- If the sample is passed from our client’s requirement (taste, color & other regulation, I’ll send you later), we can work on the shipment for actual cargo.
-If the sample is failed, the contract will be canceled.
3. honey is packed into 290kg barrels made from new iron drum.
* An used drum would be unacceptable. We need to negotiate with our suppliers & client.
4. When the actual cargo is arrived in Japan, the cargo is test by our client in bonded area.
*It is because the we need to check that the actual cargo is same as the sample.
5. If the test is passed, the cargo can be go through the customs formalities and deliver to our client.
If the test is failed, the cargo will be ship-back.
As for the process you wrote as below, we don’t do that usually.
=Quote=
6. representative from KG visits the place of supplier. During the presence
of such representative, supplier takes several samples of packed into
barrels honey. After taking samples, the barrels with honey are closed
with special marks by representative.
7. samples of honey from barrels are sent to Japan for final test
8. if the final test is OK, KG makes the payment and the honey is shipped
9. the marks informed in above item 6 serve as a warrantee that Japan
will receive exactly the same honey which was used for final test
=Unquote=
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Best regards

Я её переспрашиваю:
Dear Ichickawa san,
Many thanks for your reply.
I noted many information except below 2 points, so let me ask several questions:
1. Payment terms
You below informed
’’Only 100% T/T & L/C at sight is acceptable for Kanematsu. We cannot pay in advance.
(Sometimes, suppliers don’t agree. Then we gave up doing that business before.)’’
I understand that L/C is Letter of Credit.
Pls explain in details ‘’100% T/T’’. I understand T/T is Telegraphic Transfer, which is old
explanation and actually it is usual transfer of money from Seller’s bank account to Buyer’s
bank account. So, when 100% payment shall be paid to Russian supplier? After the honey
is delivered to bond area of Japanese sea port and the result of test is positive? If so, there
is absolutely NO risk for KG and ALL the risk has Russian supplier, right?
If so, how we can make such supplier sure that we pay? How we can let supplier not to be
afraid that he ships the cargo without payment, pays for transportation to Japan and finally
don’t receive the payment?
I understand that we will pay, but suppliers may suspect that we don’t pay because they
don’t know KG.
Sorry for such questions, but I need to inform potential suppliers the answers to such their
possible questions in future contacts with them.
2. Test in bond area in Japanese seaport
If test is failed at bond area, you said that all the honey shall be shipped back to Russia.
a) who will pay for transportation Japan->Russia?

if test is failed not completely, but just a little bit (only one or two parameters of honey
a little bit do not match the requirements of customer in Japan) - all the product must
be shipped back to Russia anyway or it is possible to accept such honey with some
discount?
3. Sample of Contract with suppliers from other countries
Pls send me the sample of concluded Contract with suppliers from other countries. I want
to see the Payment Terms, Terms of Shipment, Test analysis conditions, etc. If there is
some confidential information in such Contract Sample you may delete it (like the name
of supplier, price of honey, etc). I just want to study conditions of the Contract.
Best regards,
Yuri Pankratov
